A Twist on a Lip Balm Classic: Smith’s Rose and Mandarin Lip Balm

Hollywood stars and suburban fashionistas alike frequently tout their love of Smith’s Rosebud Salve–a multipurpose conditioning cream that soothes chapped lips, dry skin, and ragged cuticles–as a bath and body product “must have.” I am certainly one who fervently agrees: Smith’s classic salve is a multi-tasking staple that should be in every makeup and toiletry bag.

Therefore I was thrilled to learn earlier this week that Rosebud Perfume Company of Woodsboro, Maryland has released the newest variant of this popular product: Smith’s Rose and Mandarin Lip Balm, a deliciously scented concoction that soothes lips and skin with cotton seed oil.

Featured in a decorative orange and blue tin that will look adorable on any dressing table or bathroom countertop, the balm is tinted pink and slicks on easily without leaving a lot of residue on your fingertips, making it easy to apply when on the go.

The lip balm scent is a delightful mix of citrus spice and rose; the spice note distinguishes the balm from other orange scented products on the market, and mixing it with rose is a clever combination.

I’ve been using this lip balm all week to deal with my dry, flaky lips, and it just feels so soothing; now I understand how people get addicted to lip balm!
